Career Interest Assessments

Finding the right career path or changing employment can be challenging.  A Career Interest Assessment (also referred to as a vocational assessment) completed with your psychologist, can help you discover suitable employment options tailored to your unique interests, skills, and values.  Using evidence-based tools and techniques, psychologists provide personalised insights into career pathways, guiding clients toward fulfilling and meaningful work.

A Career Interest Assessment is a formalised report that includes an individual’s work history, their transferable skills, aptitude, and personality factors.  The results of this assessment help match individuals with the right job or career path.

This assessment may be beneficial for:

• students unsure about a suitable career path;
• individuals looking for promotions/career advancements;
• individuals unsure of their next career move;
• individuals exploring further education options; and
• parents returning to the workforce or education.

Whether you’re entering the workforce, seeking a career change, or re-entering after a break, this service empowers you to make informed decisions about your future.

Employers looking to help their current employees return to work, and who are looking to better understand their employees, can also benefit from implementing career interest assessments with their staff.

The assessment process includes:

• Initial Appointment – focuses on gathering background information, exploring interests, aspirations, career objectives, educational and vocational history and reasons for requesting the assessment.
• Assessment Sessions – assessment via online questionnaires and assessment tools; it may also include an in-clinic cognitive assessment if required.
• Feedback Session – the psychologist will provide a Career Interest Assessment report, discussing the outcomes of the assessments and provide recommendations to the individual.  Additional sessions can also be organised with third parties, such as schools, employers and allied health practitioners, as required.
